Nostril Detection for Robust Mouth Tracking
نویسندگان
چکیده
Within an Audio-Visual Speech Recognition (AVSR) framework an important process is video feature extraction. Several methods are available, but all of them require mouth region extraction. To achieve this, a semi-automatic system based on nostril detection is presented. The system is designed to work on ordinary frontal videos and to be able to recover brief nostril occlusion. Using the nostril position a motion compensated Accumulated Difference Image (ADI) is generated. This ADI is less noisy than the non-compensated one, and this leads to better mouth region tracking. Results show that the ADI stage has good reliability, whereas the nostril detection stage may be further improved.

Nose shape estimation and tracking for model-based coding
Feature extraction on the face plays an important role in applications of model based coding and human face recognition. Traditionally, eyes and mouth are considered to be the most significant features contributing to different facial expressions. However, detecting and tracking the nose shape is non-trivial, and plays an equally important role as eyes and mouth for model based coding, especial...

BACKGROUND Nose and mouth leaks impair effective pressure transmission during neonatal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), but little is known about how these leaks affect physiological parameters. This study investigated the influence of nose leaks and spontaneous mouth opening on peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO₂) and respiratory rate (RR) using nasopharyngeal CPAP. METHODS In 32 n...

متن کاملLearning-Based Approach to Real Time Tracking and Analysis of Faces
This paper describes a trainable system capable of tracking faces and facial features like eyes and nostrils and estimating basic mouth features such as degrees of openness and smile in real time. In developing this system, we have addressed the twin issues of image representation and algorithms for learning. We have used the invariance properties of image representations based on Haar wavelets...
